Is Gas Town (and other similar tools) legit by the Anthropic ToS?

Just curious so I don't get booted off the platform.

My understanding is that Gas Town + others wrap Claude MAX subscriptions. But the ToS says you may not "Except when you are accessing our Services via an Anthropic API Key or where we otherwise explicitly permit it, to access the Services through automated or non-human means, whether through a bot, script, or otherwise."

My read is that bans orchestrator tools. But I'm pretty sure Yegge et al haven't been banned from the platform. So what am I missing?

It uses Claude Code natively. If you're still neurotic about it, you can also use opencode with gastown.
